Hello Mihai, Thanks a lot for replying to the post.
I finally worked around it. There was no problem in the class and the way it was implemented. Everything was clearly instantiated and referenced. The main culprit was how I was compiling it. I was able to compile the Food class, but not FoodMain class as it was looking for Food class. I was able to compile and generate the .class file, by compiling both the files together bu using "javac *.java". But again after compiling I was having trouble running the .class file - its gave ClassDefNotFoundError, which I guess was because of the classpath problem. As I was compiling it from the subdirectory where it resided.I managed to run it flawlessly by going to the root folder (Linux) and then running with the classpath option, as here : "java - classpath <folder-where-package-is-present> <package-structure>". Thanks again for replying to my post, and I gave the explanation so as it can help other people having such problem. With regards Amit.
